30 ADMINISTRATION EEPOET OF THE PERSIAN GULP POLITICAL RESIDENCE
Sheikh Eahma's regime was not at all a success, and he failed to give
satisfaction to the people of the town, to Shekh Khaza'l, or to this Vice-
Consulate.
The relations between Sheikh Hanzal and the Vice-Consulate since hia
return to office have been very satisfactory.
7. The perennial question of the Beni Turuf did not fail to arise, Iti 3
stated that this year the trouble was not as usual due to the unwillingness of
the Beni Turuf to pay revenue to Sheikh Khaza'l, but to the latter having
placed the control of certain irrigation rights in the hands of a certain indivi-
dual, which did not meet with approval of Haji Sabhan and others.
A large force, variously over-estimated, was collected, and left from
Muzaffariya under the leadership of Sheikh Hanzal on the 10th of June. The
official Chiefs, Ali Mnaishid and Zahar Ali, remained loyal and the operations
were directed against Haji Sabhan. ^
Abortive negotiations were followed by fighting in which Sheikh Hanzal
is said to have lost an aggregate of 150 men and the Beni Turuf twice that
number. The Beni Turuf resistance was entirely broken down and the Sheikh 's
forces entered Hawiza with flying colours.
Sabhan took refuge in the first place with the Khasrij, the latter, however :
seeing nothing to be gained eventually refused him a permanent asylum and
he then made his way over into Turkish territory where he has since remained
Ali Mnaishid and Zahar Ali were confirmed in their headship of the
tribe.
Sheikh Hanzal returned to Nasiri on the 11th July, and Sheikh Khaza 'l
went down to Muhammerah on the 12th.
8. Save for this campaign the province has enjoyed peace throughout the
year. A minor fracas only occurred in the beginning of December af
Eaghaiwa, and it was at first anticipated that the Baghaiwa question might
arise between the Sheikh and the Bakhtiari Khans in an acute form. It
proved, however, that the disturbance had merely occurred between certain
Arabs under the Sheikh's jurisdiction and others under that of the Khans, ami
the matter was arranged diplomatically on the spot by Agents deputed by the
Khans and the Sheikh. * 1
9. This result was facilitated by a growing desire on the part of both the
Sheikh and the majority.of. the Khans to set their mutual relations on a more
friendly and a more secure footing. Some degree of cordiality tempered by
misunderstandings has existed for a considerable time between the Sheikh and
the family of the late Hussain Quli Khan,
Ilkhani
The paramount chief of certain tribes in south west Iran.
, always excluding the
Sarasam-us-Sultanah, but it was not till the spring of 1907 that the Shahab-us-
Sultanah representing the rival family, under the pressure of domestic difficul
ties evinced any desire to establish an entente with the Sheikh. From whortf-
ever the initiative may have come, a friendly understanding was quickly
established.
The subsequent speedy collapse of the Shahab and the restoration to
power of the Samsam, the sworn enemy of the Sheikh, somewhat complicated the
situation for the latier, but after the test of time it would appear that the
Sheikh has been able to maintain his understanding with the Shahab without
prejudicing his relations with the other family, again always excepting the
Samsam, and that consequently a distinct advance in policy has been made.
The value of these understandings should not be over-estimated, but they have
the effect of facilitating the amicable discussion of difficulties when, as often,
neither party is in reality anxious to push matters to extremes.
Since July the nominal concord, which has subsisted between the two^
parties of the Khans, has been to the advantage of the Sheikh, or of any one
else who has had to deal with them.
